In celebration of this third year of the International Decade for People of African Descent.
WHY
To help unite the
Diaspora and bring us closer to Africa. Because wherever we find ourselves, we,
Black people, face similar and difficult challenges. It’s time for us to
develop a common global response to our common global challenges.
WHERE AND WHEN
Online through your
social networks, May 21-27, 2017
HOW
1) Mark your
calendars now to participate in this campaign.
2) Share this
information with as many of your family and friends as possible and urge them
to join the conversation.
3) During the week of
May 21-27:
a) use the #ImAfricanBornIn
logo as your profile picture;
b) share the hashtag #ImAfricanBornIn as
much as possible (leaving a space between the word “In” and your place of
birth); and
c) share what it’s
like to be African where you live and offer your suggestions for changing
conditions for people of African ancestry all around the world.
Thank you.
A Campaign Toolkit with logos and flyers
in English, Spanish, French, and Portuguese will be available online the second
week in May.
#ImAfricanBornIn is sponsored by the Valuing
Black Lives Global Emotional Emancipation Summit, convened annually by
Community Healing Network in collaboration with the Association of Black
Psychologists. This initiative is a part of the broader global grassroots
movement for emotional emancipation being led by Community Healing Network,
Inc., to help change the trajectory of the African Diaspora by changing our
narrative from a focus on the lies of White superiority and Black inferiority
to a focus on the truth of Black humanity.
